    Irregular period
    Hi, I'm 21 years old and I have irregular periods. It's been a year since I've had a period and before that I would get them every two months or so, a week ago I started taking a herb called dong quai to regulate my period and it worked this is the first time in a year that I've had some king of bleeding even though its light. What I want to know is if having irregular periods can be the cause of an ovarian cyst I've also gained at least 30 pound over the year and I only gained it on my stomach, I've tried a lot of diets and I can't looset the weight I've also started to get really bad acne on my face when before I would only get a few pimples here and their but never this bad. I also feel bloated around my stomach and get minor headechs they are very rear. What can be the cause of this?

    Sorry you had to wait a few days for an answer. The gain of belly fat and acne suggests to me that you are eating junk food. Even if you aren't, somehow your liver is being taxed. That's my suspicion.

    I would suggest going off the Dong Quai for a while, just to see what happens. A check-up with a naturopathic physician might be helpful. What does your regular physician think?

    Avoiding the consumption of most everything processed and drinking a lot of water can help.
